I purchased the Bare Access 2's after researching, and seeing some of the other barefoot shoes made by Merrell at a sporting goods store. I went with the BA 2's because they have a little arc support, and I didn't want to dive in head first to the minimalist shoe scene. After having them for a few weeks, I must say that I am completely stoked, and I am already shopping for others. I bought them for my high intensity workouts (Insanity, Les Mills Combat, Crossfit). So far, they have exceeded my expectations, and I have begun wearing them all of the time, and now need more for casual wear, and workout wear. Way to go Merrell, can't wait to buy some others!

My wife bought me the Bare Access shoes around Aug 5 of this year and I loved them from the start. I was in the process of transitioning into Barefoot style running. I loved the shoe and they were super comfortable. I am in the Army and I wear them for PT and for running on my own as well as my crossfit workouts. The only negative thing I have to say is that the sole on them is already starting to come off of the shoe. This is my first Merrell running shoe so I hope that this is not a sign of how all their shoes are. They maybe have a total of 20-25 total miles worth of running in them both on pavement and dirt trails.

I love the barefoot concept. I had a problem with some other brands of running shoes, it always felt like I was on a downhill slope. The Bare Access 2 is my favorite trainer. It feels like a barefoot shoe but with just enough extra padding to take high impact training. Running in a barefoot is nice, however when you are doing higher impact movements or more than running the extra bit of cushion is wonderful. I have the Merrell Vapors that have no padding that I use for running, for everything else and long training days the Bare Access 2 is comfortable all day long. My feet are a little wider than average, so the roomy toe box and flexible lacing options make this shoe a lifesaver.

As a tall runner (6'5") it's hard to find decent shoes large enough, so I was glad to find these in a size 15! They fit snugly, but not uncomfortably around the midfoot and there seems to be plenty of room in the toe box. The heel is a little loose, I like more of a cup to sink into, but they're very comfortable with alternative lacing patterns to hold my heel snug. The insole is very comfortable, producing hardly any hot spots, which is a common problem for me especially since focusing on mid/forefoot strike running. They've got great flexibility for toe-off, but enough beef to withstand some (hopefully accidental) pounding and a little added stability. I've run about 15 miles in these shoes, and they're treating me well! I may stick with the Bare Access, depending on the next few hundred miles... :) - See more at: http://www.merrell.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/30584M/0/Mens/Barefoot-Run-Bare-Access-2#sthash.BX859ymG.dpuf
